"Why I don't want to be a millionaire". A short presentation Than you for correct the text below for me! "Greetings everyone, I am grateful for the opportunity to give you this presentation titled “Why I don’t want to be a millionaire” Are you shocked? Yes, maybe you believe that it’s in the human condition to have the goal of earning as much as possible. In fact, one in five children in the UK want to be rich when they grow up. Disturbing… But this is not for me. I don’t want to be a millionaire. Why? Being a millionaire means to be rich by having a lot of money, just that! But, what about the health? What about love? What about relationships? What about knowledge? What about feelings? If we lose or don’t have those non material things we have nothing in life… Why do you think there are so many suicide attempts by some millionaires? Because they aren’t happy! And I want to be happy! "

I forgot how to speak in Catalan Hi everybody! Could anyone correct the next text I’ve written this morning, please? It’s 5am on April 8 2016. I’m sitting on my desk thinking and writing about what happened to me yesterday during my English lesson on Italki with Jonathan. It was a very funny situation. Let me explain why… Before my lesson I spent about an hour studying English, then I contacted with my English teacher and we were talking about American educational system, specially about the new SAT (a college entrance exam). The conversation turned to language learning and I told him how I had been able to learn Catalan by myself while living in Galicia and decided to move to Catalonia. He asked me to speak Catalan for a short time and I was unable to do it! I went completely blank! I couldn’t believe it! I couldn’t even say “my name is Conchi” (“Em dic Conchi). This such an unusual situation lasted about a couple of hours and I have to say that I can’t build an entire phrase in Catalan yet! I’m thinking in English! This is good for me because I want to learn English but I live in Catalonia an people speak Catalan here! I need to communicate! Anyways I guess things will return to normal when I get to the library ( I work in a public library) in a couple of hours, when I star to listen to my co-workers speaking in Catalan and myself have to communicate… I’ll let you know. .......................................... 3.5 houres later: Yes. I can speak Catalan again! What a relief! Conchi
